Well, mama is still pondering how to use the blog hop and what it entails. Is there anyone who can say exactly, not in arcane language, what I do to join a blog hop? For example, do photos have to be from an already published blog of mine or can I use one from Adobe? Help would be appreciated…Loulou recently posted…Not Great Shakes

Thanks for visiting my blog. I have just discovered I can add you in the wordpress reader which I prefer over email, so am now able to follow your posts. Have a pawsome day =^,,^=Pawcific Purrsea recently posted…#TRT Challenge: A Stretch of Poetry

For some weird reason we can’t comment on your posts…we wave the cursor all over the page,bu when we go to the comment box thingy, our cursor doesn’t show up on the box and no matter how many times we bang the keys (oops) the cursor won’t go on the box.

I am in love with your blog…I was browsing through Google+ and found a post that you had linked-up to -a wordless Wednesday link-up, I think.
Your title & logo – priceless, I love it! I enjoyed discovering that you, too, are a self-proclaimed “crazy cat lady”, that YOU HAVE A MAUKIE WIDGET(!!), and great sense of humor.
I really did LOL upon reading your comment form page … “Meows, purrs, hugs and MOLs are greatly appreciated. Please no hissing, spitting or scratching unless you want one of us to whap you!”
I have a 16 year old kitty, a Fox Terrier, and an Indian Ringneck Parakeet; all of which make appearances on my blog (mostly they stalk us at the dinner table).
I have started following you via RSS & email – thanks for sharing!!

Hi Janet, I enjoy your blog, how fun. Good for you, hopefully Madison, who is going to school in London for NYU will start a blog. She is a wonderful writer as well. She is in the Global Liberal Studies Program. Very Exciting, she is home with me now keeping me sane. Graydon is applying to graduate schools for their MFA programs. It is still so odd to me they are such lovers of writing.

We love cats too, however two is the max. We have one now name Bobba Fett after the star wars character. Stay well keep up the fun work. Give Tom a huge and Happy New Year.

Janet, I cannot explain it either, but Mauricio and I have this connection that goes beyond understanding. It doesn’t hurt that he is a friendly fellow and adorable. Being a mother to a dog, I know what dogs like. Somehow Mauricio seems to appreciate the same kind of affection. Works for me! You, however, are my dear friend, and nothing will ever change that.

YESTERDAY

Many yesterdays have passed since
You gained your angel wings. Today
Is six months since you left us behind
To remember and mourn. Our hearts
Continue to hurt, and we miss
You as much as the day you left.
Giulietta whined from the catio
Yesterday as I worked in the yard.
I know you put her up to it. That
Was your way of getting me to,
Allow you to join me as I
Gardened. You were there with me
In spirit. With every meow
I thought of you and how much I miss
Your sweet face and disposition.
In these past few months, many friends
Have traveled your same path in your
paw-steps. I am certain you were
Waiting to greet them with purrs and hugs.
I pray you and your friends are laughing,
Frolicking and having fun together.
Picturing that makes me smile, but
Does not lessen my sadness at your
No longer being here to snuggle
And receive our love, care and kisses.
Fiona, please do not ever forget
You are still and always will be loved.

ONE YEAR MISSING YOU

One year has passed since you flew away,
And I still think of you everyday.
I see your sweet face in my mind’s eye
And wish we’d never had to say good-bye.
It’s nice you’ve sent us kitties needing a family,
But my dearest love, we are now at capacity.
You thought it would take more than one cat
To take your place in our habitat.
We love Cooper Murphy and baby Sawyer dearly
But thinking either could replace you makes me teary.
You were one-of-a-kind and will stay in my heart
Until the day I join you and we’re no longer apart.
When once again I can hold you in my arms
And revel in all your love and feline charms.
Together with you and all who have passed.
I will spend eternity contemplating how blessed
I was to share my life with my furry children,
Each and every one of you one-in-a billion.
